Manage Device Server Tab

You can connect to Device Servers or assign a temporary IP address to a Device Server. Whenever you connect to a Device Server through the DeviceManager, you connect as the Admin user and must supply the password for the Admin user.

Populating the Device Server List

The first time you start the DeviceManager, the Manage Device Server tab will be empty. To add Device Servers to the Device Server List, you can do either of the following:

zClick the Search Local Network button. This searches the local network segment and automatically displays any Device Servers it finds. Any Device Servers found by this method will be displayed in Type column as Dynamic. Once you close the DeviceManager, any Device Servers that were displayed as Dynamic will not be there until you click the Search Local Network button again.

zClick the Static Server List button to add Device Servers to the Device Server List permanently. This also allows you to add Device Servers that are not found on the local network segment with the Search Local Network button. To connect to a Device Server that is not in the Device Server List and resides outside the local network, see Adding/Deleting Static Device Servers on page 49.

For more information about managing a Device Server, see Managing a Device Server on page 50.

Assigning a Temporary IP Address to a New Device Server

If your network does not use DHCP/BOOTP, you can temporarily assign an IP address to a Device Server that is connected to your local network segment, for the purpose of connecting to it and downloading a configuration file (containing a permanent IP address). To temporarily assign an IP address to a Device Server, do the following:

1.Click the Search Local Network button. The Device Server will be displayed in the IP Address column as Not Configured.

2.Select the new Device Server and click the Assign IP button. The following window is displayed:

3.Type a valid temporary IP address into the address field and click the Assign IP button.

4.Double-click the Device Server in the Device Server List. If this is the first time you are accessing the Device Server, type in the factory default Admin password, superuser, and click OK. The DeviceManager will display a window indicating that it is trying to authenticate and connect you on the Device Server.

5.If the authentication and connection are successful, the Server Info window is displayed. You are now ready to configure the Device Server. If authentication was unsuccessful, try to connect to the Device Server again; you probably mistyped the password for the Admin user.
